Sleeping Struggles

Everybody has to fall asleep,some of us need our favorite pair of socks, a warm beverage, or our stuffed animal. But even when we get in bed our phone lights up with notifications, we check them and before we realize it , it has already been 3a m. That is how staying up late comes about.

As far as I'm concerned,the reason for people's staying up late varies from person to person.However,lack of sleep would affect learning and memory. Worse,if your sleep difficulties last a long time,that could lead to anxiety or depression.As a consequence, getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly.Below are some suggestions for forming good habits of healthy sleep.

1.Stick to a schedule

Establishing a consistent nighttime routine for a child is a particular challenge, especially when the child is very young. However ,we can make an attempt to do it. When My daughter was fifteen days old, I managed to aid her to establish a routine , which is early to bed and early to rise. Fortunately she succeeds in doing it. Every day she goes to bed around 9p.m, and gets up at seven o'clock the next morning.

According to some investigations,the best time range to go to bed and to help you wake up in great shape is between 9pm and midnight, making sure that you have 8 hours of sleep per night.

2.Avoid the distraction

Beds should only be used for sleep. When people associate beds only with sleep , they are able to fall asleep faster and have a more restful sleep, according to an American Psychological Association (APA) study.

Therefore, It is suggested that we shouldn't  play  our phone/tablet/laptop in bed. Besides,switching the light into a gentle one is of great help to ensure better sleep.

3.Don't eating or drinking

To help you get adequate sleep, don’t do anything too physically or mentally strenuous at least 2 hours before your bed time. As well, don’t eat a relatively large meal close to your sleep time.  Apart from this, coffee or alcohol will make your mind excited and wake you up at night.

Last but not least,leave your stress and worries at your bedroom door! Clear your thoughts and just enjoy your sleep.May all of you have good sleep. Good night!
